At the end of this discussion, students are expected to:

1. Define what is resultant force.


2. Solve for the resultant of a given concurrent force system.
3. Solve problems involving concurrent force system.

Resultant of a force system is a force or a couple that will have the


same effect to the body, both in translation and rotation, if all the The line of action of each forces in coplanar concurrent force system are on the
forces are removed and replaced by the resultant. same plane. All of these forces meet at a common point, thus concurrent. In x-y
plane, the resultant can be found by the following formulas:
The equation involving the resultant of force system are the following,
1.Rx=ΣFx=Fx1+Fx2+Fx3+...
The x-component of the resultant is equal to the summation of forces in
the x-direction.

2.Ry=ΣFy=Fy1+Fy2+Fy3+...
The y-component of the resultant is equal to the summation of forces in
the y-direction.
PROBLEM 1 PROBLEM 2
Solve for the resultant of the given concurrent force system. Three ropes are tied to a small metal ring. At the end of each rope three students are pulling,
each trying to move the ring in their direction. If we look down from above, the forces and
directions they are applying are shown in Fig. P-011. Find the net force on the ring due to the
three applied forces.

FORCE X COMP Y COMP


110 KN 0 KN -110 KN
55 KN 35.35 KN -42.13 KN
115 KN 69 KN 92 KN
45 KN -38.97 KN 22.5 KN

B. Find P and α if the resultant is 500 N upward to the right


PROBLEM 3 with a slope of 3 horizontal to 4 vertical.

From Fig. P-014, P is directed at an angle α from x-axis and the 200 N
force is acting at a slope of 5 vertical to 12 horizontal.
A. Find P and α if the resultant is 500 N to the right along the x-axis.
B. Find P and α if the resultant is 500 N upward to the right with a
slope of 3 horizontal to 4 vertical.
